Watervaporisaby-productofgascombustion.Anunventedroomheater produces approximately one (1) ounce (30ml) of water for every 1,000 BTU's (.3KW's) of gas input per hour. Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemental heat (a room) rather than a primary heat source (an entire house). In most supplemental heat applications, the water vapor does not create a problem.Inmostapplications,thewatervaporenhancesthelowhumidity atmosphere experienced during cold weather.

The following steps will help insure that water vapor does not becomeaproblem.1. Be sure the heater is sized properly for the application, including

amplecombustionairandcirculationair.2. Ifhighhumidityisexperienced,adehumidifiermaybeusedto

help lower the water vapor content of the air.3. Do not use an unvented room heater as the primary heat

source.

Unusually Tight ConstructionTheairthatleaksarounddoorsandwindowsmayprovideenoughfreshairforcombustionandventilation.However,inbuildingsofunusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air. Unusually tight construction is defined as construction

where:a. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have

b. Weather-strippinghasbeenaddedonopenablewindowsand doors, and

c. Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as jointsaroundwindowanddoorframes,betweensoleplatesandfloors,betweenwall-ceilingjoints,betweenwallpanels,atpenetrationsforplumbing,electrical,andgaslines,andatother openings.

Ifyourhomemeetsallofthethreecriteriaabove,youmustprovide additional fresh air. See “Ventilation Air FromOutdoors,” page 18.

DeterminingifYouHaveaConfinedorUnconfinedSpaceUsethisworksheettodetermineifyouhaveaconfinedorunconfinedspace.Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills betweentherooms.

1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height). Length x Width x Height = cu. ft. (volume of

space)Example: Space size 16 ft. (length) x 10 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling

height) = 1,280 cu. ft. (volume of space) If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills

or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.

2. Divide thespacevolumeby50cubic feet todetermine themaximum BTU/Hr the space can support.

(volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = (maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)

Example: 1,280 cu. ft. (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 25.6 or 25,600 (maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)

3. AddtheBTU/Hrofallfuelburningappliancesinthespace. Vent-free heater BTU/Hr Gas water heater BTU/Hr Gas furnace BTU/Hr Vented gas heater BTU/HrGasfireplacelogs BTU/Hr Other gas appliances* + BTU/Hr Total = BTU/Hr

Example: Vented gas heater 20,000 BTU/Hr Vent-free heater + 18,000 BTU/Hr Total = 38,000 BTU/Hr*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct vent draws combustionairfromtheoutdoorsandventstotheoutdoors.

4. Compare the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of BTU/Hr used.

BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support) BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used) Example: 25,600 BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support) 38,000 BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used)

INSTALLATION AND OpERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IF YOU CANNOT READ OR UNDERSTAND THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT ATTEMpT TO INSTALL OR OpERATE

INTRODUCTIONThis remote control system was developed to provide safe, reli-able,anduser-friendlyremotecontrolsystemforgasheatingap-pliances.Thesystemcanbeoperatedmanually fromthetransmitter.Thesystem operates on one of 255 security codes that are pro-grammed into the transmitter at the factory.Thetransmitteroperatesona12Vbattery(included)madespe-cificallyforremotecontrolsandelectroniclighters.Installthe12Vbatterysuppliedwiththeunitintothebatterycompartment.

TRANSMITTER

REMOTE RECEIvER

Figure 44The remote receiver operates on 4AA-size 1.5Vbatteries. It isrecommended thatALKALINE batteries be used for longer bat-tery life and maximum microprocessor performance. IMPORTANT: Neworfullychargedbatteriesareessentialforproperoperationofthe remote receiver.

The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control system operation. The remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch for selecting the MODE of operation: ON/REMOTE/OFF

• WiththeslideswitchintheONposition(towardtheLEARNbutton), the system will remain on until the slide switch isplaced in the OFF or REMOTE position.

• WiththeslideswitchintheREMOTEposition(centered),thesystem will only operate if the remote receiver receives com-mands from the transmitter.

• With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from theLEARNbutton),thesystemisoff.

• Itissuggestedthattheslideswitchbeplacedintheoffposition if youwillbeaway fromyourhome foranex-tendedperiodoftime.Iftheremotereceiverismountedout of children’s reach, placing the slide switch in theoFF position also functions as a safety “lock-out” bybothturningthesystemoffandrenderingtheremotere-ceiver inoperative.

FRBC - MILLIvOLT CONTROL SYSTEMINSTALLATION

WARNINGThisremotecontrolsystemmustbeinstalledexactlyasoutlinedintheseinstructions.Readallinstructionscompletelybeforeat-tempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during instal-lation.AnymodificationsoftheECSremotecontroloranyofitscomponentswillvoidthewarrantandmaybeposeafirehazard.

Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120VACpower.Consult gasappliancemanufacturer’s in-structions and wiring schematics for proper placement of all wires.Allelectronicmodulesaretobewiredtomanufacturer’sspecifications.

The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purpose only. Follow instructions from manufacturer of gas valve and/or elec-tronic module for correct wiring procedures. Improper instal-lation of electric components can cause damage to electronic module, gas valve and remote receiver.

The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standardplasticswitchboxorplacedonornearthefireplacehearth.Pref-erably, the remote receiver should bewall-mounted in a plasticswitchbox,asthiswillprotectitselectroniccomponentsfromboththeheatproducedbythegasapplianceandpotentialdamageorabusethatcanoccurifitisleftexposedonthehearth.PROTEC-TIONFROMEXTREMEHEAT ISVERY IMPORTANT.Likeanypieceofelectronicequipment,theremotereceivershouldbekeptaway from temperatures exceeding 130° F inside the receiver case.Batterylifeisalsosignificantlyshortenedifbatteriesareex-posed to high temperatures.MakesuretheremotereceiverswitchisintheOFFposition.Itisrecommended that 18 gauge solid or stranded wires (not included) beusedtomakeconnectionsbetweentheterminalwiringblockonthe millivolt gas valve or electronic module and the wire terminals ontheremotereceiver.Forthebestresults,use18gaugesolidorstranded wire, with no splices and measuring no longer than 20 ft.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONSAqualifiedelectricianoragastechnicianwhoisfamiliarwiththegasapplianceandgasvalvesthatwillbeoperatedbythisremoteshould install the remote control system. Incorrect wiring connec-tions WILL cause damage to the gas valve or electronic module operating the gas appliance and may also damage the remote receiver.

WIRING MILLIvOLT vALvESThe remote receiver is connected to the millivolt valve using the TH(thermostat)terminalsontheterminalblockonthemillivoltgas valve.Connect 18 gauge solid or stranded wires from the remote re-ceiver to the gas valve.

Operation of the remote receiver is similar to that of a thermostat inthatbothturnthegasvalveonandoffbasedoninputsignals.Athermostat’sinputsignalsaredifferenttemperatures.There-motereceiver’sinputsignalscomefromthetransmitter.

Connect each of the two wires leading from the TH terminals on the millivolt gas valve to either of the two wire terminals on the remote receiver. Normally it does not matter which wires go to which terminal.
